I usually skip New Year’s Eve. I don’t like to party, live too far from the city to be bothered with the crowds and the difficulties getting home via public transport or finding an Uber (or Shebah). But I do like having my friends over, planning a menu, drinking cocktails that haven’t cost me $15 a glass. So, to kiss 2017 goodbye, I planned a relaxed 70s-themed cocktail party with a few friends.
